The affected models were sold at Buy Buy Baby, Target, Toys R Us, Walmart and other stores nationwide and online at amazon.com between November 2015 and October 2017. The Soothing Motion Seat retailed for $160 and the Smart Connect Soothing Motions Seat retailed for $175.

"The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Fisher-Price issued a voluntary recall of the Fisher-Price Soothing Motions Seat. No injuries have been reported but the motor housing can overheat, posing a potential fire hazard," a spokesperson for the company said in a statement to GoodHousekeeping.com. "Children's and families' safety is always our top priority at Mattel. Our long record of safety is why Fisher-Price is the #1 most loved and trusted brand by moms. The actions we are taking today are in support of maintaining that highest level of trust. We ask consumers to visit service.mattel.com so we can provide them with recall and refund instructions."

The recall involved seats with model numbers CMR35, CMR36, CMR37, and DYH22 and Smart Connect Soothing Motions Seats with the model number CMR39. Consumers can locate the model number of their seat by looking on the underside of the motor housing.

The CPSC recommends that those with affected models stop using the seats immediately and contact Fisher-Price for a full refund. Fisher-Price can be reached at 800-432-5437 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at www.service.mattel.com by clicking on "Recalls & Safety Alerts"

Because the recall requires parents to mail back their unit for a refund, the Good Housekeeping Institute recommends taking the following precautions from Fisher-Price in the meantime:

1. Discontinue use immediately.
